Ongar Road is already a busy traffic area and adding another 80 dwellings can only increase the problem.

Where will industry go? If to a green filed site will that not detract further from the environment around brentwood?

80 units is far too dense mindful of overlooking properties in Brentwood Place

This site was supposed to be an Aldi can the area support a development of 80 units per HA

This would effect small businesses currently operating within this industrial estate and would force possible closure.
I understand some of the units are vacant so encouragement to engage new businesses would support the council's employment objective. Industrial estates should be protected and encourage businesses to flourish rather than close them down.

Opportunity: Former Iron Works site could provide opportunity for promoting the history of this former industrial production

The road infrastructure will not tolerate any additional traffic should the proposed volume of new homes in these areas proceed. Both Ongar Road and Doddinghurst road are hampered by long delays each commutable morning whilst in term time. For example, should the horse field at the rear of Viking way proceed, that could add another 350 cars to our local roads. This will cause chaos with Wilson corner not designed or prepared for these additional users. Delays and bottle necks will be inevitable, worst so than at present. Brentwood does not have the road infrastructure to accommodate new homes in these area. The allegation that homes may be built on some of the current town centre car park sites is an additional worry. William Hunter Way is a misery to navigate at certain times due to Sainburys, shoppers and through traffic (as people try to cut out a chunk of Ongar Road). More traffic would exacerbate grid locks. Parking at peak times in William Hunter Way proves that losing parking capacity is not an option especially in an effort to encourage shoppers. Huge investment would need to be applied to our road network if any proposals were to proceed. Do you have the funds for this? Will you be investing in local services to ensure the community is fully resourced? More schools? GP's? These site suggestions are not acceptable and will simply cause chaos and add further commute misery to residents.

Having reviewed the documents we have found it necessary to respond once again as residents living around Sawyers Hall Lane, Bremtwood.
We are aware of the proposed building sites in the vicinity of Sawyers Hall Lane an area which is already over congested due to traffic and excess building and recent building and planning proposals eg schools, Sawyers Hall Church and the Local Plan which includes Wates Way.
Our concerns are two fold:
1. Wates Way. Unless sensible traffic control measures are put in place this will mean Sawyers Hall Lane and Burland Road being used as a 'Rat Run' to access the new housing site and eventually the new estate. As the residents of Brenwood North we have not been listened to in the past especially by the Highways Department, the situation in an already congested Sawyers Hall Lane and we might add a dangerous road will become worse.
2. Hopefield Animal Sanctuary, Sawyers Hall Lane. At the moment Tesco's the owner of the this land are applying pressure to sell the land for housing. Although we note this land is not currently a site proposed for development within the Local Plan we have a fear that as the Council are under pressure from Central Government to find building sites this will be all too easy to be considered as a viable option. The consequences are a road being cut thorough at the end of Sawyers Lane to access any potential site, taken account it would also be a convenient route in gaining access and joining up with the proposed development either side of Doddinghurst Road.
We therefore ask you give serious consideration to our concerns.
